    It provides great infrastructure but the placements level are not good.
    Placements: Placements are very low in this college. Even if placed, the average salary package offered is 2 LPA. Maximum students either go for postgraduation or government jobs in their respective fields. But the quality and the level of study are real good. This university has made and kept a huge reputation in foreign as well.
    Infrastructure: Students get access to Wi-Fi at the campus, the library is well built with a wide variety of books. University laboratories are well-equipped. Sports and games are well implemented. Hostelers get healthy and clean diets daily. The mess food is 10 out of 10. Hostels are secure in this college.
    Faculty: All the teachers are doctorates and highly knowledgeable. Teachers guide students well and even help with the research. The exam conduct system can be considered good and beneficial for students with a passing percentage to be 50%. Each semester has a total of 4 theoretical examinations and practicals. Because the marks and syllabus are distributed in a good way so the pressure is not much on students.
    Other: Fests are less in this college. Being this university, students will find a huge crowd here with about 90% of students from Punjab itself. Canteens are many in number and good. Many scholarships are being given and received.

    I am satisfied with teaching faculty members and infrastructure.
    Placements: The college does not provide placements. It is important to place the students who are in need of a job in their particular field. The major drawback of the course is placements. It is good to show a good platform to place students in their particular subjects. So placements should be provided by the institute.
    Infrastructure: The college provides a good range of internet services. Canteens were good, and the library has good books. The library facilities are good except for maintenance. Dusting should be done on time to time. The faculty of the library is very helpful. But the library section should be organised properly to help the students to find out particularly.
    Faculty: Teachers in our college were knowledgeable. The course curriculum should offer more creativity and innovation in teaching. The assignments should be encouraged for students learning. The inclusion of online learning should be encouraged by teachers. They should improve the traditional method of teaching with new educational technologies.

    PAU (department of botany) college life along with the curriculum.
    Placements: The students are provided with detailed information about the job profile, salary, and hiring company. Many companies like Akash, Byjus, and Jaro Education hire a lot of youth from college.
    Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are okay, mess food is also bearable, you could order food online, and online products to be delivered at GATE of hostel. Hostels are different for girls and boys along with AC and coolers but at different charges, you could bring your cooler from home. There are different kinds of hostels available and are near to cafeteria.
    Faculty: There are strict faculty members with loads of pressure for marks. You have to be a book worms to get pass in exams. Checking of exams is very complex with very less numbers given. Exams are conducted four times and each type of exam has its own weightage in report card. Practical exam have tier own value and are not easy.
    Other: Campus organizes many concerts, fest, melas, shopping expo, convocation, and freshers' party. You could enjoy youth fest along with singer coming in college during concerts. The college organizes placement fest and even makes WhatsApp groups regarding the same.

    What is the process for admission to MSc in PAU? I have done BSc Agriculture from another college.

    Answered 7 months ago

    If you've got a BSc in Agriculture and want to do an MSc at PAU Ludhiana, you need at least 60% in your degree plus a relevant subject background. Then you've gotta clear PAU MET or a national exam like ICAR AIEEA, attend the counselling with originals, and pay fees to lock your seat
